The isotopic composition of strontium of pore water and of authigenic minerals leached from the sediment of core 119K with hot aqua regia is similar to that of the brine in the Discovery deep and differs from that of normal seawater. The average 87Sr86Sr ratio of strontium removed by acid leaching is 0.7077 ± 0.0007 (1σ) compared to a value of 0.70904 for the Red Sea. The detrital silicate fraction exhibits an approximate inverse correlation between 87Sr86Sr ratios and strontium concentrations which provides tentative support for a model in which the detrital silicate fraction of deep-sea sediment is considered to be a mixture of terrigenous dust of sialic composition enriched in radiogenic 87Sr and of volcanogenic material of basaltic composition and low 87Sr abundance. The 87Sr86Sr ratios of the shells of foraminifers and pteropods, expressed as δ 87Sr‰ relative to 0.70904 for seawater, decrease from ?0.23 ± 0.17‰ at 90 cm to ?0.82 ± 0.17‰ at 273 cm and remain constant at this value to a depth of 450 cm. The lowering of the δ 87Sr values is attributed both to the presence of aragonite overgrowths on pteropod shells and to possible isotope exchange with strontium in the connate fluid.  相似文献

The South Mountain batholith of southwestern Nova Scotia is a large, peraluminous, granodiorite-granite complex which intrudes mainly greenschist facies metasediments of the Cambro-Ordovician Meguma Group. Using Rb-Sr isochrons constructed from whole rocks and mineral separates, the present study shows a variation in age and initial ratios of the intrusive phases of the batholith as follows: biotite granodiorite (371.8 ± 2.2 Ma, (87Sr86Sr)i ranges from 0.7076 ± 0.0003 to 0.7090 ± 0.0003, with the average = 0.7081); adamellite (364.3 ± 1.3 Ma, (87Sr86Sr)i = 0.70942 ± 35); porphyry (361.2 ± 1.4 Ma, (87Sr86Sr)i = 0.71021 ± 119); using λ87Rb = 1.42 × 10?11yr?1.A suite of Meguma country rock samples showed a variation of 87Sr86Sr = 0.7113?0.7177 at the time of intrusion of the batholith. A number of xenoliths of this material occurring in the marginal granodiorite had partially equilibrated isotopically with the granodiorite at a higher 87Sr86Sr ratio than elsewhere in the granodiorites. This evidence demonstrates that isotopic (and probably some accompanying bulk chemical) contamination by the Meguma rocks has been an important factor in determining the ultimate chemical composition and mineralogy of the South Mountain batholith.The (87Sr86Sr)372 = 0.7081 of the early granodiorites indicates that the parent magma of the South Mountain batholith was derived from a source unlike the Meguma Group. The precise nature of the source region cannot be determined by Rb-Sr work unless the degree of contamination with Megumalike material is known.  相似文献

Size fractions <5 μm of Fithian illite were treated with 1 N HCl, H+- from cation-exchange resin, and 5% NH4-EDTA-solution, and analyzed for their Rb-Sr isotopic composition. In comparison to the effects of HCl, the ion-exchange resin leached the same amount of Sr, but significantly less Rb and radiogenic 87Sr from poorly-crystallized 1 M illite.An age of 284 ± 8 Ma (I.R. 0.7109 ± 6 is more or less in agreement with the Missourian (Stephanian) age of deposition. The agreement is fortuitous because of the presence of small amounts of detrital 2 M illite and kaolinite, thus the true age of diagenesis might be somewhat less.87Sr86Sr ratio measurements of Tithonian Solnhofen limestone demonstrate that, even though the silicate component constitutes less than 5% of the total, the majority of the radiogenic 87Sr is leached from “broken-bond” surfaces of the nearly pure kaolinite-residues during the HCl treatment. Ion-exchange and EDTA treatment can be useful in this situation to obtain a precise separation of environmental Sr (in carbonate) from radiogenic 87Sr (in silicates), and an adequate spread of RbSr values from argillaceous fine fractions in the construction of isochrons.  相似文献

The decay constant 87Rb has been redetermined by measuring the amount of radiogenic 87Sr produced over a period of 19 years, in 20 g samples of purified RbClO4, using isotope dilution techniques. The rubidium sample was spiked with 84Sr and the nanogram quantities of strontium separated by coprecipitation with Ba(NO3)2. Analyses were carried out on a 25cm, 90° sector mass spectrometer equipped with a Spiraltron electron multiplier. Measurement of three independent ratios permitted continuous monitoring of the ion beam fractionation. The average of nine determinations gives a value for the decay constant of 1.419(±0.012) × 10?11 yr?1 (2σ). [τ12 = 4.89(±0.04) × 1010yr.]  相似文献

Strontium isotopic measurements were made on Late Proterozoic carbonates from West African Craton. Comparison of samples with acceptable trace element patterns with coeval data from southern Africa and with the published Australian results suggests that the 87Sr86Sr ratio of the Late Proterozoic sea water evolved in the following manner about 0.7075 at 1000 ± 50 Ma, 0.7056 to 0.7074 at 900 ± 50 Ma, 0.7068 to 0.7091(0.7106) at 800 ± 50 Ma, 0.7074 to 0.7077 at 700 ± 50 Ma, and 0.7076 to 0.7089(0.7096) at 600 ± 50 Ma ago. The variations are comparable in magnitude and frequency to those described previously for the Phanerozoic. Strontium isotopic values in the radiogenic part of this range suggest that the continental river flux of Sr into Late Proterozoic oceans was of comparable isotopic composition to its present day counterpart (~0.711). Consequently, the non-radiogenic 87Sr86Sr value at ~900 ± 50 Ma ago signifies a large flux of “mantle” strontium into the ocean at this time. Because the present time resolution is only about 75 ± 25Ma, additional sampling as well as better stratigraphie resolution and more definite selection criteria are required for construction of a more detailed Late Proterozoic sea water curve.  相似文献

The Rameka Gabbro, emplaced 367 Ma ago, experienced a well documented reheating on intrusion of the Separation Point Batholith 114 Ma ago. 40Ar39Ar age spectrum analyses of hornblende from the Rameka Gabbro show diffusion gradients which provide information on the 40Ar boundary concentration during reheating.Three samples of hornblende exhibit age spectra that conform to a model of 40Ar loss by diffusion, implying a zero 40Ar boundary concentration during heating. The calculated 40Ar loss from these samples, together with a model of heat flow in the aureole, provide estimates of diffusion coefficients of 40Ar in Mg-rich hornblende which correspond to an activation energy, E, of ~60 kcal-mol?1 and a frequency factor. D0, of ~ 10?3 cm2-sec?1. When combined with laboratory diffusion results, these data yield a well defined diffusion law (E = 63.3 ± 1.7 kcal-mol?1, D0 = 0.022 +0.048?0.010cm2-sec?1).The age spectra of the eight other samples record steep gradients of excess 40Ar over the first few percent of gas release. Although this effect causes high apparent conventional K-Ar ages, the plateau segments of many sampes still record the crystallization age of 367 ± 5 Ma. These measurements show that the excess 40Ar phase developed locally in the intergranular regions of the gabbro, following intrusion of the batholith. on time scales that varied from 104 to 106years. The minimum average 40Ar36Ar ratio of this component was found to be 1300 ± 400. The partial pressure of Ar was at least 10?2 bars in some places.A single 40Ar39Ar age spectrum analysis of plagioclase reveals a ‘saddle-shaped” release pattern with a minimum at 140 Ma.In conjunction with theoretical diffusion models and a diffusion law, 40Ar39Ar age spectrum analysis of hornblende that has experienced a post-crystallization heating can provide close estimates of the maximum temperature of the thermal event as well as both age of crystallization and reheating.  相似文献

Twelve samples of mid-Tertiary felsic volcanic rocks from Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí (both belonging to the Sierra Madre Occidental) and one sample of Lower Tertiary porphyritic andesite from Zacatecas are analyzed for 87Sr86Sr, K, Rb, and Sr. Eight selected samples are also analyzed for 143Nd144Nd. A linear regression of the present-day 87Sr86Srand87Rb86Sr of the felsic volcanic rocks in Zacatecas gives an approximate date of 30 ± 8 Ma. The initial 87Sr86Sr ratios are high and widely distributed (from 0.705 to 0.712 or higher) whereas the initial 143Nd144Nd ratios are somewhat low and show a narrow range (0.5125–0.5127). The available isotopic and trace-element data are best explained in terms of a binary mixing model in which the magmas derived from a slightly depleted-mantle fractionate and mix with varying proportions of the overlying middle/upper continental crust and undergo further shallow-level fractional crystallization before eruption. This model is also compatible with the trace-element and Sr isotopic data published from other areas of the Sierra Madre Occidental for which a purely mantle origin has been proposed.  相似文献

40Ar39Ar age spectrum analyses of three microcline separates from the Separation Point Batholith, northwest Nelson, New Zealand, which cooled slowly (~5°C-Ma?1) through the temperature zone of partial radiogenic 40Ar accumulation are characterized by a linear age increase over the first 65 percent of gas release with the lowest ages (~80 Ma) corresponding to the time that the samples cooled below about 100°C. The last 35 percent of 39Ar released from the microclines yields plateau ages (103,99 and 93 Ma) which reflect the different bulk mineral ages, and correspond to cooling temperatures between about 130 to 160°C. Theoretical calculations confirm the likelihood of diffusion gradients in feldspars cooling at rates ≤5°C-Ma?1. Diffusion parameters calculated from the 39Ar release yield an activation energy, E = 28.8 ± 1.9 kcal-mol?1, and a frequency factor/grain size parameter, D0l2 = 5.6?3.9+14sec?1. This Arrhenius relationship corresponds to a closure temperature of 132 ± 13°C which is very similar to the independently estimated temperature. From the observed diffusion compensation correlation, this D0l2 implies an average diffusion half-width of about 3 μm, similar to the half-width of the perthite lamellae in the feldspars. The range in microcline K-Ar ages from the Separation Point Batholith is the result of relatively small temperature differences within the pluton during cooling. Comparison of the diffusion laws determined for microcline with those for anorthoclases and other homogeneous K-feldspars (E = 40 to 52 kcal-mol?1) reveals that Ar diffusion is more highly temperature dependent in the disordered structural state than in the ordered structural state. Previously published U-shaped age spectra are probably the result of the superimposition of excess 40Ar upon diffusion profiles of the kind described here.  相似文献

Morphological, mineralogical, chemical and RbSr isotopic studies have been made on Fesmectites (nontronites) from southern Pacific red clays cored near the Marquisas Islands. These minerals have at the top of the core, an 87Sr86Sr ratio of 0.70917 ± 0.00007, which indicates an authigenic origin in isotopic equilibrium with seawater. Weak leaching experiments with 1N HCl show that the nontronites also contain a volcanic component with a lower 87Sr86Sr ratio which, combined with the morphology of the particles, suggests a transportation by bottom currents of clay formed elsewhere.During burial, the nontronites experience diagenetic modifications resulting in an increase in Fe, K and Rb contents, a concomitant decrease of Mg, Ca, Ti, Na and Sr, and a preferential migration of radiogenic 87Sr from the clays into the surrounding pore waters.The 87Sr86Sr ratio of the Sr adsorbed on the outermost surfaces of the nontronites does not change with depth in the core, and is, therefore, independent of diagenetic influence, which is rather characterized by the 87Sr86Sr ratios of the interstitial waters. The isotopic composition of both the adsorbed Sr and that of the pore fluids may yield useful information on the crystallization environment and subsequent history of deep sea red clays.  相似文献

Glauconite pellets from the Lower Silurian Brassfield Formation on both limbs of the Cincinnati Arch in Ohio and Indiana give a RbSr age of 370 ± 11 Ma, which is substantially younger than the stratigraphic age of the formation. The age is concordantcwith conventional KAr ages of 355 ± 6 and 368 ± 5 Ma for two of the same glauconites. Concordant ages were also obtained from the Viburnum Trend in Missouri, where glauconite pellets from the Davis Formation in an ore-zone collapse structure into the underlying Bonneterre Formation give a RbSr age of 387 ± 21 Ma and conventional KAr ages of 368 ± 5 and 369 ± 5 and 369 ± 5 Ma. A third suite of glauconite from the Bonneterre Formation in the Old Lead Belt ~ 10 km from the nearest ore body has given a RbSr age of 423 ± 7 Ma and slightly older conventional KAr ages of 434 ± 6, 445 ± 6 and 441 ± 11 Ma.Because these glauconite-bearing rocks have been buried to depths of less than 1 km, thermal resetting of the RbSr and KAr systematics appears unlikely. The initial 87Sr86Sr ratios of the RbSr isochrons are similar to the ratios for vein- and vug-filling dolomite and calcite. This is consistent with resetting of the RbSr and KAr systems during diagenetic changes which included the isotopic equilibration (perhaps by cation exchange) of the Sr in the glauconite with that in the diagenetic and Mississippi Valley-type ore fluids. This interpretation implies that the age of the Mississippi Valley-type mineralization in the Viburnum Trend is Devonian rather than Carboniferous—Permian as has been inferred from paleomagnetic measurements.Cation-exchange experiments with a dilute Sr-bearing solution and an artificial oilfield brine indicate that glauconite adsorbs large amounts of Sr, some of which is sufficiently strongly attached to the glauconite lattice as to resist leaching with ammonium acetate. The introduction of this strongly attached Sr may be the first step in the resetting of the RbSr systematics of glauconite by cation exchange.  相似文献

In the Nelson area of New Zealand, intrusion of the Separation Point Batholith 114 Ma ago caused thermal metamorphism in the adjacent Devonian Rameka Gabbro that allowed radiogenic 40Ar to diffuse partially out of hornblendes in the gabbro.Comparison of mineral ages in the batholith (obtained by the K-Ar, 40Ar39Ar, Rb-Sr, U-Pb and fission track methods) with closure temperature estimates for the various isotopic systems has allowed thermal histories of several samples to be resolved. These curves indicate that, following emplacement, the batholith cooled at an exponentially decreasing rate reaching 100°C by about 75 Ma ago.Oxygen isotope measurements on minerals from the gabbro and granodiorite give calculated equilibrium water compositions of +7 and +9 of δ18OSMOW respectively. Measured porosities from samples of the gabbro yield a model permeability of 3 × 10?17 m12. These results confirm that heat transfer from the batholith to the gabbro was predominantly by conduction. A numerical heat flow model has been developed for the region, and shows that samples in the gabbro near the contact reached ~600°C. whereas 5 km away from the contact, the samples were only raised ~ 50°C above the ambient temperature.Excess 40Ar was identified as causing a significant scatter in the K-Ar ages of hornblendes from the gabbro. Though obscured by this effect, these data suggest a crystallization age of the Rameka Gabbro of 367 Ma, which is consistent with geological evidence.  相似文献

The 3He4He ratios measured in 27 Southern Africa diamond stones, four from Premier Mine and the rest of unidentified origin, range from 4.2 × 10?8 to 3.2 × 10?4, with three stones above 1 × 10?4. We conclude that the initial helium isotopic ratio (3He4He)0 in the earth was significantly higher than that of the planetary helium-A (3He4He = 1.42 × 10?4), but close to the solar helium (3He4He ? 4 × 10?4).The apparent K-Ar ages for the twelve diamonds of unidentified origin show enormously old age, indicating excess argon-40. 3He4He evolution in diamonds suggests that the diamonds with the high 3He4He ratio (>2 × 10?4) may be as old as the earth.Noble gas elemental abundance in the diamonds relative to the air noble gas abundance shows monotonie decrease with a decreasing mass number.This paper discusses the implications of these observations on the early solar system and the origin of diamonds.  相似文献

Pleistocene and Recent lavas from the Sunda arc range from those showing affinities with the island arc tholeiitic series, through a spectrum of calc-alkaline to high-K alkaline rocks. The tholeiitic rocks have relatively low 87Sr86Sr ratios averaging 0–7043; the calc-alkaline rocks show a wide range (from 0.7038 to 0.7059, averaging 0.7048); the high-K alkaline rocks average 0.7045. A rhyolitic ignimbrite from Sumatra has an 87Sr86Sr ratio of 0.7139.The relationship between 87Sr86Sr and major and trace element geochemistry is variable and complex. Lavas from the same volcano sometimes show significant differences in 87Sr86Sr despite close geochemical relationships. Rocks of the calc-alkaline suite show a regular decrease in 87Sr86Sr from West Java to Bali and there is some evidence for increasing 87Sr86Sr with increasing depth to the Benioff zone. Calc-alkaline and tholeiitic rocks from the Sunda arc have significantly higher 87Sr86Sr ratios than those from other island arcs, except from those arcs where continental crustal involvement has been inferred (e.g. New Zealand).A model of 87Sr enrichment due to isotopic equilibration of oceanic crust with sea water and disequilibrium melting in the slab and/or mantle is favoured to explain the Sr isotopic composition of the tholeiitic and normal calc-alkaline lavas. Calc-alkaline lavas with high 87Sr86Sr ratios are best explained by either sialic contamination, or the presence of alkali basalt as a component of the downgoing slab. The Sr isotopic data for the high-K alkaline lavas suggest a mantle origin. The high 87Sr86Sr ratio in the Lake Toba rhyolite implies a crustal origin.  相似文献

The Marda complex is a sequence of andesitic to dacitic to rhyolitic volcanic rocks filling a synformal structure in submarine basalt, banded iron-formation and siliceous sediments in the Archaean Yilgarn Block of Western Australia. The Marda volcanic rocks are in part subaerial and exhibit calc-alkaline chemistry. Their Rb/Sr age is 2635 ± 80 m.y. with an initial Sr87Sr86 ratio of 0.7029 ± 0.0015. The Marda lavas represent products of a differentiated late to syn-tectonic, anatectic magma derived from the base of the Archaean crust. Calc-alkaline volcanic complexes are uncommon in the Yilgarn Block.  相似文献

The Saetra Nappe, consisting of feldspathic psammite cut by pre-tectonic dolerite dikes, is a distinctive tectonostratigraphic unit of the Western Gneiss Region of Norway. Although the rocks were metamosphosed at amphibolite facies, RbSr whole-rock sf three well preserved dikes a date of 745 ± 37 Ma with initial 87Sr/86Sr = .7046, interpreted to record the dike intrusion. Analysis of small psammite samples collected in rows parallel to the foliation and in columns perpendicular to it, indicate that the RbSr isotopic systems were not equilibrated on the whole-rock scale. The Strata Nappe provides evidence of a strong Caledonian deformation/metamorphic event in the Western Gneiss Region of Norway.  相似文献

Cameronet al. (1981) proposed a “Free Line Model” for calculating formation ages for rock systems that have undergone local scale homogenization by 87Sr migration. This model is valid only if the variation in the 87Rb86Sr ratio is independent of the variation in Sr-content within the rock system. If Sr increases linearly with increasing 87Rb86Sr the calculated age will be too high. If Sr decreases linearly with increasing 87Rb86Sr, the calculated age will be systematically too low. If the rate of change in Sr with increasing 87Rb86Sr varies systematically through a rock system the “isochron” will be curved and the calculated ages will be younger or older than the real age, depending on the position of samples in relation to the curvature of the “isochron.” This problem with the “Free Line Model” is inherited in both the “Bulk Earth Model 1” and the “Bulk Earth Model 2.”  相似文献

87Sr86Sr measurements of 108 sedimentary carbonate rocks have been used to trace variations in the strontium isotopic composition of seawater during the Phanerozoic. The lowest 87Sr/86Sr observed for any suite of carbonates is taken as the best approximation to the value in well-mixed contemporary seawater. Our data support the existence of low 87Sr86Sr in the Cretaceous and Late Jurassic but they do not support further structure beyond a general trend through the Phanerozoic, which may correlate with the continental denudation rate.  相似文献
